I would dearly hope that Lewis signs an extended deal with us next year, but if he doesn't I would be gutted. It's a short life in RL though isn't it. And I saw Allan Hunte start his career at Wakefield and before we knew it within a few short games Alex Murphy had seduced him. Gutted.'"
As I remember it, he'd already signed or intended to sign before he even played a game for us.
At the time it was probably the right decision for him.
On Sts, I'm not sure Ritson is even their first choice. They've said they are still happy playing Bennison. |

I suppose some people will say that's the way it is for the so called 'lesser' clubs who nurture talented youngsters, then see them leave. We've had varying amounts of actually getting some seasons out of certain players haven't we? Westwood we hardly saw, Ellis a bit more of, same with Nigel Wright i guess. TJ maybe the most as in appearances? Maybe with the new facilities at the club, and the hopefully more disposable income as a result, we can hang onto players like Murphy for longer, well that's the theory i suppose!! |

Would be stronger with a full-back i'd say 
Not necessary.
Murph is good enough to cover both positions.....  |

| Quote BackSeatCoach="BackSeatCoach"But you started your argument (that numbers were pointless), predicated on Dave playing most games last year, whereby to Dave himself numbers clearly meant something. You implied that the meaning of squad numbers is of no value to anyone.
Seemingly, having lost that argument you have now perpetuated the same premise to Lewis Murphy, attaching gravitas to the fact that the number of games played is not directly linked to a squad number. And also that I called Tom Lineham a pig.
I know how squad numbers work. But this wasn't your argument. And I didn't called Tim Lineham a Pig per ce - he is "The Pig", "The Flying Pig".
Is that clear?'"
I'm sure "Tim" Lineham will be delighted to hear it........  |

They've just given Bennison a two year contract, so presumably he'll fit in somewhere in the equation. |

Absolutely not!!! Do not vote! The less he achieves and the more under the radar he is the more chance we have retaining him.
In all seriousness looking at that list hard to see how he doesn’t win it. |

Well seeing how Lineham got No5, I reckon Battye could be a strong possibility for No6 |
